ROGERS, PEET & CO. 
NEW YORK. 
SPRING OF 1891. 



Although we are liberal users of the city 
papers in soliciting local trade, we do not ad- 
vertise for mail orders. 

People at a distance who order clothing by 
mail are usually of two classes — those to whom 
a low price is the chief consideration, and those 
who do not mind paying a liberal price, but who 
want their clothes made to order. 

Because we neither sell " cheap " clothing nor 
make garments to measure, we are seemingly 
not in position to meet the expectations of 
either of these two classes of customers ; al- 
though, really, we are prepared to serve both of 
them acceptably, if they only knew the kind of 
clothes we deal in. 

The growth of our mail order trade comes 
principally from the recommendation of our 
goods by persons who have used them. We 
issue this book to answer the inquiries that 
come to us unsolicited. It is also mailed to 



regular customers as an acknowledgement of our 
appreciation of their former custom and the 
wish to serve them further. 

FOR NEW CUSTOMERS. 

As far as possible this book contains an ac- 
curate description of our season's stock ; and 
yet we produce many new things after the date 
of its publication. 

The pictures represent prevailing fashions. 
Decide first what style of garment you prefer 
and write for samples representing that style, 
expressing your preference as to fabric, color 
and price. If for a boy, be sure to state his age 
and whether long or short trousers are worn. 

With the samples we send easy directions for 
measurement. 

HOW WE FIT EVERYONE. 

About sizes and shapes of rightly-made cloth- 
ing there is a general misconception. Men think 
they can't be fitted. On the contrary, it is easier 
to find a perfect fit in our stock than to get it 
specially made, for your tailor seldom hits the 
mark on first trial. 

Of every single breast measure we cut a dif- 
ferent shape for men of u regular " build, another 
for slender, long-armed men, a third for stout 



men, a fourth for " short-stouts." With occa- 
sional slight alteration, here is provided the 
exact garment for men of every mold. 

NO RISK IN TRYING. 

Whatever we send out is on approval, subject 
to return at our expense ; and if garments prove 
faulty after use, we expect to make good your 
loss at any time. 

For information about terms, see last page.

Light weight Overcoats for Spring and Fall 
are cut rather full in the back. 

The extreme of fashion, called a "box" coat, 
hangs like a bag from the shoulders. We follow 
the happy medium of correct style by making 
our Spring Overcoats conform just enough to 
the figure to give an easy, graceful fit. 

The staple overcoat fabrics are Thibets, Ker- 
seys, Meltons, plain and twilled Worsteds, etc. 
We have added this season some fancy Cheviots 
to meet the demand tending in that direction. 

Men's sizes from 33 to 44 inches chest. 

For plain-lined coats, $10 to $22. 

For silk-faced coats, $15 to $18. 

For silk-lined coats, 

$25 to $30. 

Youths' and large boys' 
sizes, 30 to 34 inches 
chest, ten to twenty per 
cent. less. 

Men's unlined cape 
overcoats of black Thibet, 
for driving, or to wear 
over a dress suit, $20. 




A man's wardrobe is incomplete without a full 
dress suit. Whatever social occasion he attends 
after dark, however others may dress, he is prop- 
erly attired if in " Evening Costume." This 
fashion never changes. But do not wear a 
" swallow-tail" coat in day-time. 

Sizes to fit every person from a boy of sixteen 
to a man measuring 44 inches chest. 

Coats of black Broadcloth, with Italian cloth 
lining, $15. 

With satin-lined skirts, $20. 

With full satin lining, $25. 

Suits of black twilled cloth, coat silk-lined, 

$45- 

Black cloth vests, $3.50, $5, $6. 

White Marseilles vests, $3. 

Black watered silk vests, $5. 

Black doeskin trousers, $7 to $10. 

Double-breasted Frocks, called 
" Prince Alberts," are a little " off " ; 
although fashionable London 
threatens to return to the long- 
skirted frock of a generation ago. 




A few (i Prince Alberts " are worn by sedate 
men, and we keep up our lines in Diagonal 
Worsteds and Tricots. 
Tricot Suits, $26. 

Diagonal Worsted Suits, $26.50 to $39. 
Corkscrew Worsted Suits, $30 to $42. 
Black Broadcloth Coats and Vests, $21.50 and 
$30. 

Above prices for men's sizes, 33 
to 44 inches chest. 

Youths' and large boys' suits, 30 
to 34 inches chest, ten to twenty 
per cent. less. 

Evolution in men's dress 
seems to have culminated 
in the Single-breasted Cut- 
away Coat ; for that be- 
coming garment holds its 
own against all rivals. Its 
modifications tend toward 
more graceful lines, 
through changes hardly observable to the eye 
untrained in matters Sartorial ; and three is now 
the regulation number of buttons. 

Black Cutaway Coats, with vests of same and 
trousers of lighter color, are good form for every 




social occasion in daylight. White or fancy 
figured vests are frequently worn. In mixtures 
for business use, entire suits are of same fabric. 

Cutaway suits of black Thibets, $15 to $20. 

Black Cheviots and Serges, $15 to $30. 

Black soft finished Worsteds, $22 to $35. 

Fancy Worsteds, $18 to $2, 

Fancy Cassimeres, $15 to $25. 

Above prices for men's sizes, 
7,^ to 44 inches chest. 

Youths' and large boys' 
suits, 30 to 34 inches chest, 
ten to twenty per cent. less. 

Last Winter the Double- 
breasted Sack Coat had a 
great run. A sensible Win- 
ter garment, but rather 
heavy for Spring and Sum- 
mer. A good many will 
be used, however, and we are prepared to sup- 
ply the demand. 

In light flannels and fancy serges for " outing " 
wear, the Double-breasted Sack is decidedly 
"fetching." 

Suits of Black Thibet, $16 and $20. 

Blue Flannel, $16. 




Blue Serge, $16 and $25. 
Black Cheviot, $18.50 to $23. 
Fancy Summer Serges, $20. 
Above prices for men's sizes, 33 to 44 inches 
chest. 

Youths' and large boys' suits, 30 to 34 inches 
chest, ten to twenty per cent. less. 

There's little to be said about the Single- 
breasted Sack Coat. " For men that like that 
kind of a coat it is just the kind they like/' 
Cheviots are returning to favor, and we have 
cut some very neat selections into single-breasted 
sack suits ; besides a variety of fancy worsteds 
and cassimeres. About everything in fabrics is 
represented in this style of suit. 

Black Thibets, Serges, Cheviots and 
Tricots, $15 to $22. 

Fancy Cheviots, $22 to $25. 

Fancy Cassimeres and Worsteds 

$15 to $25. 

Blue Flannel, $15. 
Blue Serges, $15 to $25. 

Above prices for men's sizes, 33 
to 44 inches chest. 

Youths' and large boys' suits, 30 
to 34 inches chest, ten to twenty per 
cent. less. 




T 



It is only of late years that garments of regu- 
lar ecclesiastical cut could be found ready- 
made. We carry several grades of clerical 
frocks cut with both standing and 
rolling collar. The fabrics are plain 
black cloth ($26 per suit), Black Tricot 
($24 per suit), Black Thibet ($17 and 
$23.50 per suit). " Cassock " Vests of 
the various fabrics, $3.50 to $5. 

Summer Sack Coats of black Nun's 
Cloth, with both open collar and rolling 
lapels, or with high clerical collar, $5.50 
and $6. 

Black Thibet Sack Coat, unlined, $12. 

For clergymen who prefer not to wear the reg- 
ulation cut, we make of black Thibet a single- 
breasted straight front frock ; price for suit, 

N? 4*5 ' (TEX PER CENT. DISCOUNT ON EVERYTHING 

USED IN THE CLERGYMAN'S FAMILY.) 

LIVERY. 

Even unpretentious people put their drivers 
in plain livery. It looks so neat and costs so little. 

Coachmen's coats, with silver, gilt or plain 
buttons. Blue, Green or Black Cloth, $22. 

Trousers, $9. Fancy Vests, $6. 

Fancy Vest Collars of striped " Valentian," 
all colors, $2. 



Coachmen's Green, Blue or Black Kersey, 
wool-lined double-breasted. Overcoats, $30. 

PAGES' SUITS. (See Picture on Front Cover.) 

Blue Tricot, $15. 

Green Tricot, $17 ; with gilt or silver buttons. 

UNIFORMS. 

We have no facilities for making fancy Uni- 
forms, but carry in stock standard Blue Flannel 
suits, made with eyelets for changeable buttons ; 
$15 for single-breasted Sack suits ; $16 for 
double-breasted, with Gilt or Covered buttons. 

TROUSERS. 

Such a variety of patterns in fancy Worsteds, 
Cassimeres, Cheviots, etc., is cut for each season 
that description is wholly inadequate to a proper 
conception of the stock. Depend upon sam- 
ples ; $4 to $10. 

MEN'S HOT WEATHER CLOTHING. 

Because of its loosely woven texture, Cheviot 
makes as comfortable Summer clothes as any- 
thing. Blue or black Serges are likewise serv- 
iceable and comfortable. We make them all in 
coats with " skeleton " back. See quotations 
under heading of Sack Suits. 



Of course we keep the usual staple Summer 
coats of black Alpaca and colored Mohairs, cost- 
ing $3 to $6. " Nun's Cloth " is more popular 
than either ; looks more like a serge, and is 
more durable than alpaca. Black or Gray 
Nun's Cloth Sack Coats, $5 and $5.50. Vests, 
$2.50. Trousers, $4. 

Pongee Silk Coats, $5 ; Vests, $3 ; and this 
year we have a genuine novelty in a straw col- 
ored Japanese Bamboo Cloth which washes 
beautifully. Coats and Vests, $10 ; no Trou- 
sers. Various light unlined Cassimere or Flan- 
nel Coats, $3.50 to $6. 

Wash Vests. Plain and fancy Duck, $2.50 to 
$6.50, cut both single and 
double-breasted, the latter 
rather more fashionable. 

Dusters of drab linen, which 
is really the best because it 
can be washed ; of drab, slate 
or gray-mixed Mohair, and of 
Pongee. The silk ones cost 
$9 ; the others $3 to $5. 




THE SMALL BOY 

{Whether he be a Fat or a Slender Boy). 

In all, except the pleated blouse suits, we cut 
special sizes to fit stout or slender boys. 

Extra knickerbockers may be had to match 
any suit. 

Patch pieces and extra buttons attached to all 
suits. 

From the time a boy puts on Kilts we become 
his outfitters. 

We handle Kilts less for profit than for the 
completion of our stock. 

The variety of cut and trimming forbids their 

description or representation by sample like 
other garments. 

You must trust us to pick them out. 

The sizes are 2^ to 6 years, and 
the prices $5 to $15. 

Following Kilts come little fancy 
costumes with more or less trim- 
ming, no more quotable or de- 
scribable than the Kilt suits. 
> "Middy" suits (long trousers) 
at $9 to $10.50, and 




Sailor suits, with 



PLEATED BLOUSE SUIT.

knickerbockers, $4.50 to $6.50. White fancy 
trimmed serge, $7.

bockers is a jacket fastened at throat with a

slender boys.

DOUBLE-BREASTED BLOUbE. 



White and Fancy Striped Worsted, $7.50 to $8. 

Cutaway coat, with vest and knickerbockers, 

for lads of 10 to 16 years, play an important part 

in the stock of juven- 
ile attire. Most of our 
dress suits for boys are 
cut that way, and a 
large variety of school 
suits. 

Fancy Cassimeres, 
$7.50 to $11.50.

breasted sack coats. Prices, 
$6.50 to $12.

Tweeds, Meltons, Covert Cloth, etc. $8.50 to 
$14; sizes, 6 to 16 years. 

Spring Reefers, $5 to $9; sizes, 6 to 14 years.

" Outing" clothes comprise not only the gar- 
ments used for outdoor sports, but the term is 
intended to describe the elegant negligee attire 
familiar to the frequenters of summer re- 
sorts. 




z. 



Men wear suits with either single or double- 
breasted sack coats ; entire suits alike, or coat 
and vest of one and trousers of another pattern. 
Vests are often omitted and sashes worn where 
fancy flannel or " Oxford " shirts are used. 



We prepare largely of fine white flannels, sell- 
ing men's coats for $10 ; vests, $2.50 ; trousers, 
$5.50. Fancy flannels and worsteds, neat stripes, 
checks or plaids on white ground, $16 to $22 per 
suit. 

Single coats in great variety of dainty pat- 
terns ; flannel or worsted ; $3.50 to $12. Blazers 
are less popular than formerly for general use, 
but we still keep them in the various college 
colors, to meet the demand from students and 
others who fancy them ; $3.50. Flannel 
caps to match, 50 cents. Silk caps, 75 cents 
and $1. 

SASHES. 

Plain black is the favorite, but we have vari- 
ous colors ; $2 to $5. Belts of silk, 50 cents, 75 
cents and $1, according to width. Leather 
belts, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50. 

For Bicycling, suits of black Jersey cloth, $9.

fancy stripes, $5. Athletes' " Sweaters " of vari- 
ous colors, for men and boys, $4 to $6.

BATHING SUITS. 

In one piece of blue flannel, $1.50 to $3. 
44 Jersey" is the favorite fabric, however, and 
costs a trifle more ; $3 to $6 for two-piece 
suits. 

For this season we have a delightful surprise 
to offer bathers — a " life-saving " bathing suit 
made of Jersey cloth. Between double folds of 
cloth, around the chest, is a thin rubber buoy, 
scarcely observable even when inflated, but 
capable of supporting one in perfect ease in the 
water. The inventor created a sensation at 
Long Branch last season by floating beyond the 
breakers reading a book, which he held in one 
hand, while in the other he carried an umbrella. 

This suit opens a new world of pleasure to 
experienced swimmers, and affords perfect safety 
to the novice

blue, black, or red and white, or orange and 
black. 

Men's sizes, 34 to 46 inches chest, $7.50.

BOYS' SHOES. 

What everybody wants for boys is a shoe that 
will bear the hardest of wear. He runs, jumps, 
twists, slides and wriggles one foot on top of the 
other. He is out in all weathers and seeks the 
worst places. Exposure and play are good for 
him, but hard on his shoes. Let him play, but 
give him the toughest of shoes. 

Fine calfskin is not tough enough. Stout calf- 
skin is the proper leather for him. 

All boys should wear the Waukenphast. If a 
boy begins with it, he will never change. It is 
the shoe of nature ; but not all the shoes that 
are called by that name have the proper shape.
